How To Stay Sane Before Gettin' Hitched

Ladies, You Are NOT Superwoman

Yes, you try to be the superwoman in this entire process. Basically, the wedding plans fall onto YOUR shoulders, thus making you freak out.

Try limiting yourself to only a few and let your man, your friends, or your maid of honor help out. It is YOUR wedding, but YOU ARE NOT SUPERWOMAN! Only one person are you!

How Did You Fall For Him

When you get a little stressed out, just think back to the simple moments. Think back to how you met, what made you fall for him, and remember… “Oh yeah, I love him. That’s why I’m doing ALL OF THIS!”

The Dress

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to look beautiful! You already are. I know, that might sound simple, but it’s true.

Quite frankly, he probably doesn’t care what you walk down the isle in. You could be wearing your PJs and you’d still look stunning to him.

Your Bridesmaids

These women are your “Go To” friends, children, or relatives in your time of need. No matter what you have planned, they are there by your side before the wedding, during the wedding, and after if you need ’em.

Relax With A Classic Movie

If you get stressed out, simply curl up, put on an old classic movie, and relax. They seemed to have things figured out.

Your Hair and Makeup

This has to be a stressful situation, I have to admit. Find a hairstylist you trust and one that’s not going to charge you a gazillion dollars to do it. If you have a close friend, even better.

Sit back, relax, and let him do his work!

The Flowers

So much to think about! Now flowers?

Come on… this can be the fun part! Most places will try to charge you out the butt. Yet, if you have friends that can help, make it a project and buy flowers wholesale! Try making your own creative bouquets…it will be fun!

Your Guests

As long as there is food, laughter, and a lot of booze, you’re good to go!

The Music

Choose music you love to listen to together. If you want a band, go ahead. Yet, it could be much easier to place it all on an ipod and play your favs. If that includes, “Wild Thang” well, throw that on there too!

The Storms Will Come And You Will Freak Out!

Let them come. Let the storms come and then let them leave. Don’t dwell on them, because they will only get in the way of your BEAUTIFUL wedding that you have stressed out about for so long!

Remember You Will Grow Old Together

If you are ready to wake up in the morning and see an old wrinkly, saggy face, and a balding head, then you have married the right person. GOOD FOR YOU! Don’t forget, the butt will be saggy too.

Men, You Are NOT Superman Either

No, you are not…but you could be! What I mean is this. Basically, this is the most important day of your woman’s life. Down the road, she will have to give birth and you want to contribute, right?

Ok, so get on the bandwagon and help out with some of the wedding plans. If no babies are in the future, then remember that she IS your baby!

Fly, fly, fly!

Take Her Back There

Where did you meet? Where did you have your first kiss? Where did you first say “I love you”? Take her there and kiss her again.

You Are Dashing

Always remember, that during this stressful moment of planning, organizing, and spending money, most women want a Cary Grant in their lives.

You are dashing. That’s why she is marrying you! Put on your Cary face and sweep her off her feet to take off some of the planning pressure. You’ll have fun…

Your Groomsmen

Fellas, these are your pals. Your “Best men”. Those who you play pirates with, video games, and shoot the shit with. Choose wisely. They will be in your pictures and at your bachelor party.

Choose The Right Photographer

The cheapest way to get great photos for cheap, is to ask a friend who loves taking pictures! If you want some great candid moments, ask your friends.

Other wise, if you want those fancy running in the park photos, ask a professional, but remember…. you can ALWAYS talk down the price!

Food Is Important

Spend the extra money and provide a yummy meal for your guests. Create a buffet style meal instead of counting heads and giving people picky options. Just place the food out there and let them choose that way.

Easy schmeazy.

Location, Location, Location

Women love romantic venues and classic scenery for photos, the wedding ceremony, and just a simple kiss. Plan a special place to take some pics. She’ll be thrilled!

The After Party

Work it! Oh yeah, just celebrate and soak it up! Put on a few roller skates to celebrate your now married life!

The Escape Plan

After the wedding, you need to have a device that will give you a clean get away from the hustle of people. Choose something fun, and classy.

The Honeymoon

Oh, the options are endless! The wedding is over now, and you can finally relax in a hay field together and prepare for all of the ups and downs to come that will be more difficult than that wedding was.
